pto winch

ohiojim · Feb 12, 2011

someone posted a while back about a pto driven winch, because i don't have a nuetral on the winch or reverse on the pto i put together a hydraulic motor driven one that runs off the remotes, works great just a little slow to unwind but a real saver over draggin a chain and building a road into the tree 80 feet of cable,..just an idea for the rest of you

You don't show the whole back of your tractor. I hope that you have a heavy safety screen between you and the winch cable in case of a chain breakage or slipping off the log, people have been killed or severly injured by that occouring

Thanks for the photos, that looks very nice. I have mine all ready to try out, but there is too much snow everywhere for me to find anything handy to pull with it, so I figured I'd wait till spring rolls around and I'm in the woods and try it then. I've got a freewheel lever on my winch, so I think I can pull the cable out by hand, but I won't know for sure till I try it, I guess.

Looks good! A winch is something you don't use very often, but when you need it they are indispensable. I have a 8000 lb Warn Electric, on a home-make mount that slides in a 2in receiver. And has it's own battery. Just used it to pull a Car into the shop.With two pulleys it will start breaking chains, Also use it to pull dead tractors and implements up on our trailer.

This one is hydraulic too. Like you, I haven't got around to using it yet. The frame and channel on the back can be hydraulically lowered to dig into the ground. And yep, it still needs a personnel protection screen on the right.

I would've loved to have had something like that to spool up old barbed wire from old fences. I always thought about it, but never got around to it. I think about all of the hours rolling it up by hand, or just dropping it on the ground next to the post and let time and mother nature take care of it, with all the problems that could cause.

What are those steel cleats around the outside of the rear tires? They look interesting. Never seen anything like them.
